As for the Xbox 360 - if you are really into motion gaming, then the Kinect is imho the way to go. No controller to worry about. Microsoft says you are the controller, and it supports co-op games. Although the next-gen Xbox will probably be revealed next May at E3, It probably won't ship for another 6-months to a year. There is plenty of life left in the 360. It is still a great console that doesn't have graphics that seem clunky and outdated compared to PC games the way the original did after only a few years. High def tv has a lot to do with that. HD gives the graphics a big boost in quality, and that goes for all 3 consoles. I just bought my Xbox in May. I had one in 2008 but I lent it to my daughter and she "broke" it supposedly. I got the slim now and it is very quiet and has built in wifi.

Everyone I've asked - either Xbox or PS3 - lean toward Xbox. Both have incredible graphics - but every time I go into a store, I navigate toward the Xbox. I guess because I already have a PS2, it's sort of a "been there, done that" kind of mentality. I am also not thrilled about the PS3 controller.

As for Wii ... buying another controller is one thing, but yeah, another tablet? I'm sure they cost a bit more than $25. I guess we'll just have to see where it goes. Originally, I didn't think the Wii would be as popular as it is - so I could be wrong about this new platform. It's just leaving a lot of unanswered questions.

Looks like 2012 will be the year all the new consoles come out:

Okay, first....I played Fable 3 and I LOVED IT! I'm really surprised how much I liked it actually. I ended up killing off my whole kingdom in the end (so much for being a gracious King!)

I just found out that my roommate has Fable 2, so I'll probably play that one since we already own it.

I JUST finished Tron Legacy for the Xbox 360 and I have to say....I have never played a game that pissed me off so much.
I easily probably died at least 50 times on some levels. It was ridiculous.

However, I'm stubborn....and I was determined to finish the game. Which I did. I prevailed!! but I'm still pissed

Fable 2 is about 100x better than 3. I tried Tron Legacy and I was so frustrated with constantly falling to my death that I just quit LOL. I am exploring every nook and cranny of Oblivion currently.

Eh, I just started L.A. Noire. "L.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detective, to solve a range of cases across five crime desks. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the players' success at these activities will impact how much of the cases' stories are revealed." So far it just seems like a lot of cursing, sex and driving around. Pretty boring for the most part.

I too played L.A. Noire and I enjoyed it very much. The graphics were nothing short of awesome. However, it started to wear on me after a while.
It was a really long game lol.

I've heard that about Fable 2 and have only played about 10 minutes into it. I have nothing to rave about it....yet.

I'm glad somebody understands my Tron frustration! lol

Maybe I just haven't gotten far enough into it yet. All the reviews for it sounded good.
